Steve Reich’s Drumming

Ba Da Boom Percussion performs Steve Reich’s epic 60 minute cult classic. This work must be heard live at least once in a lifetime.

In one of the first masterpieces of minimalism, Steve Reich transposed the dense, complex polyrhythms of West Africa to the dense urban environment of 1971 New York. This is a rare performance of the groundbreaking work by the man considered to be "America’s greatest living composer," (The Village Voice) “...the most original musical thinker of our time” (The New Yorker) and “...among the great composers of the century” (The New York Times). Performed by Ba Da Boom percussion, under the direction of Vanessa Tomlinson.
